Before all is said and done, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) anticipates processing nearly 155 million individual taxpayer returns. That’s a lot of taxpayers – and a lot of taxpayer questions.

September and the fall season can cause flare-ups in asthma, especially for the 7 million children afflicted with the respiratory condition.

Dr. Giovanni Piedimonte of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine says that when school gets underway, physicians see a significant increase in patients suffering asthma attacks. Students are exposed to an increase in germs and are more susceptible to upper respiratory infections, he says. This, in turn, inflames airwaves and can trigger asthma attacks.

Changes in weather are also to blame for a spike in asthma attacks among children and adults. This infographic says 25 million people in the U.S. suffer from asthma. Based on the following stats, communicators can develop some new marketing and messaging for patients:

An asthma diagnosis is five times more likely to occur before age 20 than in later years.

Lifestyle factors such as obesity, smoking and living in urban areas are linked to asthma.

Deaths due to influenza and pneumonia have hit "epidemic" levels in the U.S. as flu activity became widespread in 36 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Officials reported 837 flu and pneumonia deaths to the CDC through its 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System during the 51st week of the year. Those deaths accounted for 6.8% of the 12,358 total deaths that week, just meeting the epidemic threshold. The area that includes cities in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin reported 151 deaths, the most among the nine regions in the system. Another 147 deaths were tallied in the Pacific region, which includes California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii.
